NVIDIA is building a new campus right across the street from the company’s current headquarters in Santa Clara, California.

The new campus will be built by a team from global architecture and design firm Gensler, led by Hao Ko, a young Harvard-trained architect.

Jen-Hsun Huang (Co-founder, president and CEO): The new NVIDIA building will capture the ambition and imagination of our people. It will stand at the intersection of science and art, just as our work in visual computing does.

Starting as a three-person startup in 1993, NVIDIA now has a staff of 8,000 or so, across 40-plus sites.
